Coordinated by the Tucson Pima Arts Council, and made possible by many wonderful volunteers, the festival spans public spaces in the heart of downtown, from the Tucson Convention Center through La Placita Village to El Presidio Park, with 6 hours of continuous entertainment and interactive activities for children of all ages.
The 2006 Family Arts Festival features six stages of ongoing live performances, ranging from Middle-Eastern dance to folklorico, local youth bands, and Hungarian folk music and dance. More than 100 artists and arts groups are showcased throughout the daylong celebration.
Each year, focus areas provide a diversity of activities for all ages. The Tucson Pima Arts Council partners with other organizations, such as the Tucson-Pima Public Library and Tucson 's Sister Cities Association to present attractions like the Global Village, featuring food and entertainment from around the world, the interactive activities of Kids Fest; an Arts and Crafts Market, and showcases of nonprofit arts and service agencies that demonstrate the richness of the region's communities.
The Lights, Camera, Action! Showcase, features short films oriented to family audiences, most by local filmmakers or presented by local media nonprofits. And, the Arts & Science Exploration engages kids through hands-on activities and demonstrations such as nature prints, hand-built pottery, and live bird and reptile demonstrations.
For information about getting involved in the planning of the 2006 Festival please call the Arts Council at (520) 624-0595 ext. 14.
